Ham Veggie Cobbler

  

It is time for comfort food in Canada, when something warm in the tummy wards off the chill. This is a very simple and inexpensive recipe and those are my two must haves. It's a recipe you can bump up a little if you want to by adding some sliced sausage, maybe a few more vegs, like diced yam. Add some pepper. Be creative

Ingredients:
           
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour                             

3 1/2 cups milk 

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme                                             

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules

2 cups diced cooked ham

1 cup of frozen peas

1 cup of sliced mushrooms              

1 cup of sliced or frozen crinkle-cut carrots

1 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts

Preparation:

1. 1. Preheat oven to 450°. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Gradually whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 1 minute. Add milk and next 2 ingredients; cook, stirring constantly, 6 to 8 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in ham and next 2 ingredients; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until mixture is thoroughly heated. Spoon into a lightly greased 11- x 7-inch baking dish.
2. 2. Unroll each piecrust on a lightly floured surface. Cut piecrusts into 1 1/4-inch-wide strips. Arrange strips in a lattice design over ham mixture.
3. 3. Bake at 450° for 40 minutes or until crust is browned and filling is bubbly.
